I had this game on our old black and white computer (I don't know what the computer was but it ran on Dos) where you would make your own story book and there was a library of objects and characters that you could click and drag and you could put text in and it played lovely midi music. It had some stuff from LotR in it but at the time I had no idea what the gently caress that was so I just assumed hobbits were stock fantasy characters like goblins and elves and poo poo. I have no idea what the game was called but it was awesome. I also had a Spiderman game later on that was kind of similar except you made little movies instead of a story book and you could draw in it, but I think lots of people had that.

my father was really into  and got us a sega magic disk drive so he wouldn't have to pay for games. we ended up with a lot of obscure Japanese games that we couldn't understand.this game was my favorite tho. Arrowflash, which also shared a disk with equally as obscure Crackdown.

When I was a kid, I installed a RedHat distro on my PC that came with a game called xevil. It was a homebrew side-scrolling deathmatch with awesome powerups like chainsaws and crack. The character you played was, if I recall correctly, entirely random. One life you could be a ninja, the next you could be a xenomorph, or a military dude, or a death robot. That game loving owns. https://www.xevil.com

Bolo http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bolo_%281987_video_game%29 I remember while my friends and I were chosen to setup the first new Imac G3s for my school. We found Bolo somehow and got it work through the network. The graphics were dated even for the time, but the gameplay was really fun. I don't think there are games out there with the same mechanics. Basically a RTS but with one unit you control and no building.

Back in the late 90s, my dad got one of those lovely freeware game collections from Walmart. Something like "200+ Best FREE Games." One of the only games I remember from it was called Crime, I think. It was a puzzle/strategy/RPG type game where you were a low ranking criminal and you could walk around town doing odd jobs for money, or you could rob stores and houses. You'd use the money to buy more powerful weapons and hire associates. Remembering it now, it was an objectively bad game that you could cheese by going to a bar and telling it to let you work there for 900 years, then taking all the money and buying an army outfitted with tommy guns. As an adult, I just now remembered that you could kidnap children in the game and sell them to chinese restaurants and sex traffickers

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nightmare_(Atmosfear_series) It was a board game that you played while having a vhs play in the background. It was too scary, we never played it.

Eek Help Spike Oh no Molly https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CEhAmezFKr0 This game was super difficult after the third or fourth level. It works like Donkey Kong where you have to climb to the top to rescue Molly, but first you have to collect a key while dodging all the poo poo blocking the way up which get progressively faster. This game was on an old system called Vectrex. I still own it and it still works.

Verisimilidude posted:Wonderboy in Monster World is like the Genesis version of Zelda and it's awesome in every way plus you can get it on steam for a couple bucks You cannot go wrong with Wonder Boy and/or Monster World games. They're what it looks like when a formula for pleasure is fine-tuned to perfection.

Not bought but rented Super Putty for SNES, a loving baffling mess of an unplayable game. Years later I found it was a normal British amiga game. It hurts me to think about it.

I grew up playing games on Macs. The 90's were a fascinating time to play games on a Mac, because they were usually unique to the platform. Ambrosia software made great ports of old arcade games, but the real money was "Escape Velocity" a topdown/isometric version of Elite basically.  Another favorite was "Abuse" a side-scroller from Bungie where you play a Xenomorph/Predator crossbreed who has to escape a future prison by using lots of high explosives

Abuse loving owned. That's the first game I played that would actually have powerups set up as traps that would spawn more enemies or drop you in pits. When I was 6 or 8 I had an Atari game that I thought was about breaking into a house and stealing poo poo from them and sneaking around a lady taking a shower and then you eventually blow their house. I recently found out that the game was actually a lovely video game adaptation of Porky's.

Good choice Worse choice: I had this game for the Dreamcast called Death Crimson Ox, it was a badly translated House of the Dead ripoff where you fought robots and skeletons and arabs. here is a video of it, it is somehow even worse looking than I remember. People used to not believe me when I told them about it

Enemy Nations was a very highly-rated RTS from '97, but I've never met anyone who's actually played it. It's freeware now (http://www.enemynations.com/index.html) and the developer makes enterprise software these days. I guess it doesn't really hold up nearly 15 years later, but I always enjoyed playing it. I also played a lot of Darklight Conflict, a combat space sim in the same vein as Wing Commander. It had some really impressive lighting and destruction effects for the time ('97 or '98 again) and was hard as balls. I couldn't beat the final levels without cheating, and either my copy was bugged or cheating locked you out of the ending, because I never reached it myself https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xJVaiD2j530Crow_Rodeo posted:I grew up playing games on Macs.

Jill of the Jungle was one of the better Apogee games back in the mid '90s. She had this boomerang bladed fan weapon thing way before Xena ever did and it was way better. Abuse was awesome, but I couldn't get the full version because my mom wouldn't let me. Major Stryker was a p. rad vertical scroller.

I must have played Big Top and Master Miner for hours and hours as a kid. Big Top is just weird enough to give a kid nightmares, though by today's standards it's bland as heck: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q7dGLWodlhI Master Miner was a much more fun game and was some sort of weird cross between shooting spaceships and Pacman. Even though it's from the same company I can't find any videos of it. Of course the inferior game gets the glory. There's a bunch of others on this list that I remember basically only by name: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_PC_booter_games I really wanted Pinball Construction Set but I never got a copy. Sometime a while later I got a copy of Adventure Construction Set, which was bizarre because it was an RPG maker game but with an Auto-Construct feature. You could force it to pick themes or you could just let it go crazy and put sci-fi poo poo with fantasy. It was really not very good at making games though so the results were bizarre even without mixing poo poo up. I guess none of these were actually that rare but nobody I knew ever heard of any of them, I never really could talk to anyone else about a game until I got a NES. Nobody gave a gently caress about PC gaming until Wolfenstein and poo poo came out. Deathface posted:Baby Boomer.
